About Dr. Lentz

Lentz Leadership Consulting LLC helps executives who want to know more about leading change in these tough economic times. 

I measure my success in how I can help you transform your culture to one where people want to come to work because they love what they do, enjoy the people they work with, and trust their leadership.

More About Me:

I have consulted with executives regionally and internationally for companies in automotive, manufacturing, insurance, banking and especially healthcare. I have been an executive with General Motors, been the healthcare lead for Personnel  Decisions International and directed the coaching practice at Right Management.

I serve as an adjunct faculty with Oakland University's Executive MBA program and with the School of Nursing. 

While I am continuing my work as a leadership coach, I am focusing more on leadership issues within the medical community with a special focus on nursing leadership.  I have extensive experience working at the senior levels in healthcare and have taught a leadership class to nurses getting their degree as a Doctor of Nurse Practitioner.  I am currently authoring a book on nursing leadership - Leading Change: Advanced Practise Registered Nurses Taking Charge of Healthcare.
